"Hacked" Characters[edit]

I have read that some characters can be found in the game if one hacks the game's ROM. I'd like someone to link me to more information (such as screenshots) on these characters (not necessarily information on hacking the ROM, however).

PAL version of Fighting Vipers 2[edit]

   Fighting Vipers 2 was also released in PAL version for Sega Dreamcast. I own one PAL copy of the game. 
   The content in "Sequels and Re-releases" needs to be corrected.

"fuckin" commercial[edit]

I couldn't believe they'd let that pass so I looked around for the referenced commercial. [1] Its certainly close, but judging as the name of the song is "Monkey Boy" and the lyric in question is "I ain't your (fuckin|monkey) boy" I think its safe to say that they didn't actually use the word on TV. Removing triva, feel free to revert if you dispute the interpretation. 71.164.36.216 04:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Menu.jpg[edit]

Image:Menu.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

So was it popular or not?[edit]

So in the very first paragraph it says the game "became one of the highest grossing arcade games of 1996", but then two sentences later it says "Fighting Vipers was not very popular in arcades".— Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.145.243.47 (talk) 10:04, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a matter I've been meaning to attend to for a long time - since before you made the above post, incredibly - but I kept getting sidetracked. While the EGM source supporting the game's lack of popularity in arcades is a bit vague, the "top grossing arcade games of 1996" claim comes from a Sega press release, so naturally that's not very trustworthy. Also, having been an enthusiast of Model 2 games in 1996, I can say that I never even heard of the game back in the day, so my own anecdotal experience makes me doubt Sega's claim. So, I'm going to remove that claim, while also clarifying that Fighting Vipers was specifically not very popular in U.S. arcades (since sourced content in the body of the article establishes that it was popular in Japan). I'm not 100% sure that this is the correct move, but at least it will keep the article from contradicting itself.--Martin IIIa (talk) 14:26, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
